Hi. Just wondering why the main image is an edited poster that blacks out the ICONIC "Everybody's talking about it! It's terrific!" blurb (and Orson Welles' name)? Looks to be some sort of weird edit, and it's a real mutilation of a perfect movie poster. Can that junk just be deleted or something?

Very creative your edition of the title of your post.
But with that we lose the Link of the movie when we are reading your message.
We have to go back to the list of posts. We only found Link there.
As for your Report.
For each language a different poster appears as the main one on the homepage.
I believe you are referring to this poster:

I also prefer the original version:

But there seems to be a preference for clean posters. Just the title.

Delete think it will not be possible.
But you can vote for what you like best. And what he detests.
Maybe this will help change the main.

Thanks for the reply.
I very strongly disagree with the preference for "textless" posters (or "clean" ones, whatever that may mean). I lean strongly in favour of original and authentic posters, ones that capture the history and the essence of the film. (And in the case of the Citizen Kane one, the poster with the blacked-out text is quite glaring. It's hard not to focus on the fact that one third of poster that's typically pretty busy is now covered by black. It looks terrible.)
